Blood Ketone Monitoring: Emerging Technologies & Market Trends

The global blood ketone meter market size is estimated to reach USD 727.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.96% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Reimbursement scenario and favorable health insurance are significant factors that are anticipated to surge the demand for blood ketone meters. Technological advancements in Type 1 Diabetes care lead to the increasing preference for automated devices among individuals that aid in reducing disease burden.

Diabetes prevalence is increasing worldwide, due to which the number of hospital admissions with patients suffering from complications, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), is also rising. DKA is a severe and life-threatening complication of diabetes. This disease is more common among people with type 1 diabetes and affects around 30 million people across the U.S. Lifestyle changes, rapid urbanization, increased life expectancy, and dietary changes are the major causes of diabetes.

The rise in the geriatric and obese population across the globe is expected to boost the growth of the market. As per the WHO, by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and above is likely to reach 2 billion by 2050. Similarly, as per the American Diabetes Association, one-third of U.S. adults aged 65 and above had diabetes in 2017. Thus, a rise in the number of adults with diabetes is anticipated to boost the demand for blood ketone meters during the forecast period.

An increasing number of hospital admissions owing to the rising cases of DKA in developing as well as developed nations are estimated to foster the market growth. According to a Diabetes Care Study, DKA causes approximately 200,000 hospitalizations each year in the U.S. Rising hospital admissions eventually lead to an increase in healthcare costs, thereby fueling the market growth.
